Hoisin-Glazed Tofu Lettuce Cups

These Hoisin-glazed tofu lettuce cups are vibrant, fresh and full of bold flavor and satisfying texture. Crumbled tofu is sautéed until golden and lightly crisp, creating a hearty base that absorbs the rich, savory sauce beautifully. The combination of hoisin, tamari, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil creates a glossy coating that is slightly sweet, deeply savory and incredibly aromatic.

Finely chopped jicama, carrots and red bell peppers are added to the pan, bringing brightness, crunch and natural sweetness to balance the depth of the sauce. As everything cooks together, the vegetables remain crisp while the tofu becomes caramelized and flavorful. Each bite offers a wonderful contrast between warm, saucy tofu and fresh, crisp vegetables.

Served in cool, tender lettuce leaves, these cups feel light yet deeply satisfying. A sprinkle of scallions and roasted cashews adds freshness and crunch, while an optional squeeze of lime enhances the flavors with a bright finish. These lettuce cups are perfect as a fresh appetizer or a wholesome main dish that feels both nourishing and exciting to eat.
